Track every update, feature, and fix shipped to Photo Disruptor.

v4.3

Latest
September 27, 2026
Fixed Batch: the date written into each photo's EXIF now matches the time in the table and the file name. It was shifted by your UTC offset and lost its seconds
Fixed Batch: typing a latitude before the longitude no longer empties the file table. GPS is written only when both are given, and 0° counts as a coordinate
Fixed Batch: photos can no longer be added, removed or reordered mid-run, which put results on the wrong rows
Fixed Editor: with the watermark on, "Inject Custom" metadata is kept. Drawing the watermark used to strip it
Fixed Editor: one photo failing no longer shifts every later result onto the wrong photo in the queue
Fixed Editor: Ctrl+Z while typing undoes the typing, not the processed result; a chosen Compare variant downloads with the right extension, watermark and metadata
Fixed EXIF Inspector: PNG and WebP files are read. They were reported "stripped clean" without being checked. XMP, IPTC, comments and text chunks are listed too, and a file it cannot read is never called clean
Fixed Watermark Tool: the preview fits its frame and is sharp on high-DPI screens; a photo that fails in a batch is named instead of breaking the ZIP
Improved Desktop: the settings panel scrolls on its own and your photo stays in view. It was centred far below the fold
Improved Batch: adding photos is about 5× faster — eight 12 MP photos in 0.4 s instead of 2.2 s
Improved Light theme loads without a dark flash, and the tools keep working when the browser blocks site data
Improved Accessibility: the EXIF upload zone, queue items, Compare variants and Compare Original work from the keyboard (and Compare Original by touch); messages are read out by screen readers
Improved Batch: the "Wipe existing EXIF" checkbox, which changed nothing, is replaced by a note on what actually happens — original metadata is always removed

v4.2

Stable
September 26, 2026
New 🖼️ Reframe — an opt-in, visible rotate-and-re-crop. It is the only technique that reliably moves perceptual fingerprints: on test photos it evaded all three open matchers in 11/16 runs at Strong and 15/16 at Max, against 0/16 without it
Improved Fingerprint panel measures aHash, dHash and pHash against the conventional ≤10-bit match threshold, checks mirrored copies, and says in words whether your photo is still matchable. It previously showed one weak hash as "different" from 7 bits
New Batch mode shows a fingerprint verdict for every photo
Fixed Watermark fonts: the chosen font is loaded before drawing. Previously most fonts silently rendered as plain sans-serif on first use
Fixed Watermark Tool: the downloaded file now matches the preview exactly; 🎲 Reshuffle picks a new distortion pattern on request, and each batch photo gets its own
Fixed Watermark Tool: changing a setting after Apply no longer lets Download hand out the old render
Fixed Emoji in watermark text no longer draw as broken halves
Fixed Security: an imported preset file could run script in the editor on every visit
Improved Mobile: the photo comes first and Process / Download stay pinned while you adjust settings
Improved Object Remover says clearly that it uploads the photo to fal.ai
Improved Faster first paint: fonts no longer block rendering

Improved Batch mode now persists custom disruption settings in "Use Last Settings" feature
Fixed Batch remove file now correctly splices processedBlobs to keep rows in sync
Fixed Added DNS prefetch for CDN resources to speed up initial load
Improved Object Remover migrated to fal.ai Object Removal API — queue-based processing with quality levels (best/high/medium/low) and expanded mask options
